Uno, dos...

...TRES!!

We've been in Oregon over Riggs' last two birthdays and for this one I was sure we weren't going to do anything. I figured this time he may want a party with his little buddies in Florida. Well, as the big day approached, it became very clear that Riggs would be happy as pie if he could celebrate his birthday with all his cousins, grandparents, and aunts and uncles every year. Thus, the day before, literally, we started throwing together a party. I hate to be cliche, but the kid is into super heros these days, so that's what we did. Maybe more of a "home-made" super hero theme, but super heros none the less.

Some good ol' window paint, some streamers and construction paper. Waalaa!

You know when "they" "get it." Yeah, well, it was this birthday that "he" "got it." The presents, the cake, the presents, the games, the cake, the presents.

He (we) really are lucky. For the past 2 July's we've all been in Oregon, with a good chunk of other family members too. We don't get to celebrate many holidays or birthdays with family, so maybe that's why it always seems so good when we do! Riggs LOVES his family. They are his best friends. And I couldn't be happier with that. Here are all the super heros he got to celebrate with...I really wish we would have thought to take a picture of every one by themselves....ohhhh the coulda shoulda woulda....

This is a marvelous photo.

These were both such great pictures. Her just staring at Uncle Riley. Not many can pull that off.

And this photo. Oh, this photo. If I had to create a top 10 best photos of my lifetime, it's surely in the top of the top 10. I mean, it includes so much of our family and we're ALL wearing masks and capes. And posing. #awesomeness #lovemyfamily

I found the inspiration I need from your blog and that of your sisters to play catch-up on my blog! Short and sweet seems to be the key, as well as quality photos which I assume you have edited. Nice work, blogger!
